Study Summary

For locally advanced adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction(AEG) (cT3-4aN+M0), neoadjuvant chemotherapy was improved to downstage T and N stage, increase the resectability of tumor, and finally improve the long-term survival. Combination of perioperative PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy for locally advanced AEG could be a novel therapy to increase response rate and resectability and reduce recurrence rate. Sintilimab in this study is an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for injection which has been approved for several malignant tumors. This study is a multi-center, open-label, randomized phase II clinical trial to evaluate tolerability, safety and efficacy of sintilimab in combination with perioperative chemotherapy in locally advanced AEG.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Suffer from other active malignant tumors within 5 years or at the same time. Curedlocalized tumors, such as skin basal cell carcinoma, skin squamous cell carcinoma,superficial bladder cancer, prostate carcinoma in situ, cervical carcinoma in situ,breast carcinoma in situ, etc. can be included in the group.
  2. Patients who are planning to undergo or have previously received organ or bone marrowtransplantation.
  3. Myocardial infarction or poorly controlled arrhythmia (including QTc interval ≥ 450 msfor males and ≥ 470 ms for females) occurred within 6 months before the firstmedication (QTc interval is calculated by Fridericia's formula).

  8. There is a known active or suspicious autoimmune disease. Except those who were in astable state of the disease at the time of enrollment (no need for systemicimmunosuppressive therapy).
  9. Received treatment with live vaccine within 28 days before the first administration;except for the treatment of seasonal influenza with inactivated viral vaccine.

Patients who need to receive systemic corticosteroids (> 10 mg/day curative dose ofprednisone) or other immunosuppressive drugs within 14 days before the firstmedication or during the study period. However, the following conditions are allowedto enter the group: in the absence of active autoimmune diseases, patients are allowedto use topical or inhaled steroids, or adrenal hormone replacement therapy with a doseof ≤ 10 mg/day prednisone.
  11. Any active infection that requires systemic anti-infective treatment occurs within 14days before the first administration of the drug; except for receiving preventiveantibiotic treatment (such as prevention of urinary tract infection or chronicobstructive pulmonary disease).
  12. Have received other antibody/drug treatments for immune checkpoints in the past, suchas PD-1, PD-L1, CTLA4 and other treatments.
  13. Are receiving other clinical research treatments, or the planned start of thisresearch treatment is less than 14 days from the end of the previous clinical researchtreatment.
  14. Known to have a history of severe allergies to any monoclonal antibodies or study drugexcipients.
  15. Known history of psychotropic drug abuse or drug use; patients who have stoppeddrinking can be included in the group.
  16. There are patients who may increase the risk of participating in research and researchmedication, or other severe, acute and chronic diseases, who are not suitable forparticipating in clinical research based on the judgment of the investigator.

Study Description

Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in China with incidence and mortality both ranking the 2nd among malignancies in China. Unfortunately, over 70% of gastric cancer patients in China were diagnosed in advanced stage, and more than 80% of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction(AEG) were advanced stage. Locally advanced AEG (cT3-4aN+M0) could be cured by multi-disciplinary therapies including surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As proved, Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can downstage T and N stage, increase the resectability of tumor, and finally improve the long-term survival in AEG patients. However, the therapeutic effects remain unsatisfactory. PD-1 antibody has demonstrated its efficacy in metastatic AEG and has been proved to be effective in neoadjuvant setting in lung cancer and melanoma. Combination of perioperative PD-1 antibody and chemotherapy for locally advanced could be a novel therapy to increase response rate and resectability and reduce recurrence rate. Sinitilimab in this study is an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for injection which has been approved for lymphoma. This study is a multi-center, open-label, randomized phase II clinical trial to evaluate tolerability, safety and efficacy of sinitilimab in combination with perioperative chemotherapy(SOX: oxaliplatin plus S-1) in locally advanced AEG.
